[Rich Elswick]

Back to this... with AJAX being a javascript, unless it is a 'secure'
script, which no one has access to, then someone could scrape the data from
your site.  I am not familiar with a way to secure Javascript, unless access
to the script is limited ala permissions and such.

As to scraping past the 250 limit, Steve and Rick pretty much covered that
it can be done.

As to a bit more description of AJAX as an example... your traditional HTML
page would return 250 results and someone would have to click a 'next page'
button or tag to go to another HTML page displaying the next 250 results.
For AJAX, they still click the 'next page' button, but the HTML page isn't
updated...  but a XMLHttpRequest is generated to the server, which returns
'data' of some sort, which then the Javascript for the previously loaded
HTML page updates the currently viewed web page with the new data.

Here is a pretty good description of the basic tenent of it all:
